w. H. Lang, Goodhue IL Co. are manu-
featuring large press for Ritcf lie & Co.
OF New York, to be used in printing steel
engravings 1t will take an impression ~
by Al inches and will be completed in
about two weeks. The press is the first
one that this firm has made and is one of
their own design. The same firm have
just shipped four sets of horse nail ma
chinery to the National Horse Nail com
pany of Nergennes, and also three car.
loads of machinery to the Champain
Fibre company of Willsboro, y. Y. They
will also supply the complete outfit for
the new pulp mill which is to be erected
in Milton.
The board of trustees of the Y VI. G. A.
have already had two meetings with refer
ence to the building project and are tc
meet again this week. IL is definitely de
cided that the work of erecting a nev
building will be undertaken in the spring
though the details have not yet been de
clded on. The trustees are about to Sc
cure plans from several prominent arcbi
tects, ana we hope in the near future tC
be able to make some definite announce
ment as to the method of raising funds tC
be adopted. The debt of the association
on its present property ought to be raised
and we believe our citizens would be glaC
to do this by popular subscription.
a question has been raised as to tn,
legality of our last city election, in con
sequence of the omission to advertise tn,
customary official notice in the dali,
paper 1t is true that city ordinance re
quires the formal advertising of the cleo
ton and of the officers to he voted for. i
is also true that by inadvertance on tn,
part Of the officer whose duty it is to at
tend to the matter, no formal notice wa.
advertised in any paper The election
was however widely advertised, by the
posting of the voting lists by a forma
notice printed on the cover Of the city re
ports and by articles in the FREE PRESS
We understand it to be the opinion o.
some of our leading lawyers, that III view
of these facts and of the fact that yer,
large vote was polled, showing that tn,
voters generally had notice, the inform
ality in relation to the advertisement i.
not sufficient to vitiate the election. Til
some opinion to the contrary is expressed
by some good LAWYER il will NOT he npcpS
sary for any one to lay awake nights, 70
fear that 1t may turn out to have been II,
election.
